If you can shrink the marketplace of US crypto holders with a simple ban from tens of millions of users down to a five-figure number, it becomes considerably easier to police.

A sales rep who negotiates a 30-day payment term instead of a 45-day payment term is cash-wise. The company can get the money sooner and is able to put it to use elsewhere. Well yes but at the cost of the customer’s goodwill. Now you’ve p

The modern belief is that [] should be reserved for generics[0]. In fairness, I've never seen a language actually stick to that and that's also a bit hollow when Java itself uses <> for generics in the first place. [0] https

Californians are uniquely bad at handling wildfires. Fire is perhaps man’s oldest enemy. We know how to handle it through preemptive controlled burns. California just refuses to implement them.

Are Americans actually considered “extremely direct”? Any foreigners on here able to chime in on if that generalization rings true?

They’re not even quiet quitting. They straight up announced that they wouldn’t respond to any noise disturbance call in the Salem area. I feel bad for both the cops and the people because the liberal/conservative split is closer to 50&

There's no problem if you just cite which experts and their credentials, even better if you can add the direct quote to remove all ambiguity in the first place.

I think the right answer to your question would be NimLang[0]. In reality, if you're seeking to use this in any enterprise context, you'd most likely want to select the subset of C++ that makes sense for you or just use C#. [0] ht

Same story as buying a home near Microsoft during their heyday. MS did somewhat alleviate the problem by having a geographically spread-out campus but hour-long commutes were the norm.

You’re supposed to market this as incentivizing the consumer to come during off-hours for a discount. You can even draw a parallel to the matinee, the same concept in another industry. Marketing anything ever as a price hike is usually a si

Google lost the AI race Ironic considering they wrote the seminal paper on modern AI[0]. We’re going to look back on Google as the next Xerox PARC that squandered away massive and obvious advantages. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.

For greenfield projects, these LLM coders would be invaluable. For my old codebase with observed requirements and magic numbers? Lol it’s going to be just as confused as I am.

In fairness, Reddit's built-in search works well enough that I could still find stuff on Reddit if Google croaked tomorrow.

Yes. Getting fired ruins lives. It causes divorces, suicides, depression, home defaults, and more. Firing and laying people off should be more painful for the company than it should be for the firees.

The great irony is that open-space offices (or cubicle'd spaces) were to preserve flexibility in case one wanted to use the space for something other than offices in the future. Now that we actually need that flexibility to convert tho

Dan Brown, whatever your opinion of him, did a good job depicting this in The Da Vinci Code (might have been A&D, been a while since I read either). Langdon would recall teaching these subjects and students would interject and he’d take

Part of the problem is that people skills are essential to being a good engineer. Those with strong technical skills but weak interpersonal skills can still be great if they’re paired with a boss that can obscure their inability to communic

My worry is that we become too reliant on tools and outsource our thinking to them before they are ready to take on that task. Industry greats like Spolsky have been beating this drum for decades [0] with no success. Those with natural cu

I’m ecstatic about the future of education. I remember many occasions of teachers going, “Gosh, I wish I could show you guys this”. Now, they can with speed and ease. I’m particularly excited for ESL learners to have high-quality low-cost t

You really want to be using C++ and Rust as little as possible - ideally only for high-performance code. The rest of your application should be developed using a RAD language like C# or Kotlin. Interoperability between C# and C++ right now

Grading is not "stack ranking". when I give out a grade to a student, I don't care how the other students did. You're in the very small minority. Virtually every professor I had in college employed scale adjustments to

Raising kids is hard work. I would bet this plays a large part - people today respect the difficulty in a way past parents previously did not. Birth rates are certainly declining but I would bet the rates of accidental infant/toddler

Lot of blame gets placed on women too and sometimes it's misplaced. At-home sperm testing kits should really be covered by insurance considering how cheap and easy they are[0]. [0] https://yospermtest.com/

Crystal was never able to find traction as a Ruby clone that could compete with C speeds. Why would a Python clone have any better luck? I don’t think anyone would accuse Python of being dramatically more usable than Ruby.

Sending in a swat team without any kind of in person validation is pretty insane anyway IMO. If I’m a police captain, I’m going in guns blazing every time because I know the trend of SWATting won’t end until the penalties are ratcheted wa

What is “affordable housing”? All housing becomes affordable once you build enough of it. Is it just the politically correct way of saying “low-quality housing”?

Do you have an example on hand? I don’t recall SAT questions being more than a few sentences but it’s been years since I took it and I know at least one major section has changed.
